Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about connecting iCloud Calendar with Obsidian.

What do I need to connect iCloud Calendar with Obsidian?

You need an Apple ID with iCloud Calendar enabled and an Obsidian vault on your desktop. Morgen Pro is required for Obsidian integration. The 14-day free trial includes all premium features.

How does Obsidian integration work with iCloud Calendar?

Morgen reads tasks from your Obsidian markdown files and displays them alongside iCloud calendar events. You can schedule vault tasks as time blocks on iCloud, and task completions sync back to your markdown files with [x] checkboxes.

Can I use this integration on mobile devices?

Obsidian integration requires Morgen's desktop app (Windows, Mac, Linux). However, once scheduled, your tasks appear as calendar events in iCloud, accessible on iPhone and iPad through the native Calendar app.

Does this work with Obsidian Tasks plugin format?

Yes! Morgen natively parses Obsidian Tasks emoji syntax including due dates (📅), priorities (🔺⏫🔼🔽⏬), and completion status (✅❌). All formatting is preserved when syncing changes back to your vault.

Will my Obsidian data leave my computer?

No. Your Obsidian vault remains completely local. Morgen only reads and writes to your local markdown files. iCloud calendar data syncs through Apple's secure CalDAV protocol to their servers, not ours.

How often does the sync happen?

iCloud calendar sync happens every 4 hours with real-time updates when you make changes. Obsidian tasks are imported on-demand when you open Morgen or refresh the task view. Both sync bidirectionally within seconds of changes.

Can I schedule Obsidian notes as calendar events?

Yes! Morgen's "Notes as Tasks" feature converts entire notes to schedulable items using frontmatter properties. Set duration, priority, and due dates in YAML frontmatter to control how notes appear as calendar blocks.

What happens if I edit tasks in both places?

Morgen handles conflicts by prioritizing the most recent change. If you complete a task in Morgen, it updates the markdown file. If you complete it in Obsidian, Morgen reflects that on next sync. Time conflicts show warnings to help you resolve them.
